❝ ... i know you are. ❞ thank god for his scarf, as grusha doesn't want them to see how hard he's biting his tongue — with his siblings grown &&. off on their own, it's almost easy for him to forget that not everyone is perfect at everything their first try. besides, while some of the snotty kids he deals with on a daily basis deserve to be chewed out, ree certainly doesn't — he can tell that they're being earnest. after a moment of awkward silence, he reaches up to pull down the scarf a bit to scratch at his chin. ❝ but if you really wanna see one of the great sights of paldea before the sun sets, you've gotta pick up the pace at least a little bit. come on, i've got you. ❞
